Is it Domain Controller Replication problem?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Dear All,

I have 3 Domain Controller A (1st DC, operation master 5 roles); B, C.
(A, C are GCs). A, C are on SP4, B is on SP3

I just happened today that while on Exchange Server to create new account
(the Active
Directory appearing to connect to C), the user account is created and
updated across other
A, C, mailbox is created.

However the email address is not updated for new user specially email
address field is empty while using Active Directory User & Computer to
connect to C. I checked on A, B the email address of this new user by
connecting Active Directory User & Computer to those DC, and
the email address is updated correctly.

On my Outlook, I checked the Global Address List there is no new user
created listing (the
exchange server probably using GC on C so the GAL does not have the new user
listing.)

But if I wait for a while (until Exchange server connecting to A), I can see
the GAL has
the new user in listing.

It has been for 5 hours already sine I created the new user, but it is not
updated on C domain
controller.

I force the replication, sync etc..but it does not help. It just happens
today, I do not notice
whether the replication of active directory might have the problem before,
but we do not have
this problem at all for 4 years running Windows 2000 AD, Exchange.

Any one idea? please help
